What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 27, 2025. For example: Are clients at this facility being protected from hazards (Critical)?

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on February 19, 2026. For example: Is this facility properly constructed (Non-Critical)?

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.

    Recorded 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 27, 2025. For example: Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Critical)?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 27, 2025. For example: Is laundry being properly handled in a suitable manner?

    1 infraction

    • 08. Is this facility properly constructed (Non-Critical)?
      • Current: The facility staff noted that initial attempts to install an non-absorbent barrier were unsuccessful. At the time of inspection, the existing absorbent cloth material remained in place as a barrier. The manager has indicated that they expect to have a proper barrier installed soon and are currently in communication with a contractor to complete the work. Previous: Cloth material was observed being used as a barrier between stalls in the washroom area for children. However, this material is absorbent and capable of absorbing bacteria dispersed from the toilet fixtures, laundry nearby, and the general environment. Potential solutions to address this issue:1. Non-absorbent barriers: Consider using vinyl or plastic curtains, which are waterproof and easy to clean, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial absorption.2. Solid partitions: Installing non-porous materials, such as metal, acrylic, or laminate panels, would offer a durable and easy-to-clean alternative.3. Waterproof coatings: Applying a waterproof, non-absorbent coating to existing fabric could enhance its resistance to moisture and bacteria.

Schedule laundry tasks strictly outside of daycare hours and ensure the machines remain completely powered off and locked when children are present.3. Use appliance locks or covers that prevent children from opening or tampering with the machine doors and controls.4. If possible, rearrange the layout to create a partition or physical barrier between the toilet and the laundry area, even if it’s temporary or movable.
    • 17. Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Critical)?
      • - Observed several sleeping mats that are in a state of disrepair. There are tears along the edges and sides, which prevent the surface from being adequately cleaned.
